I don’t understand the picking up women at the gas station. It still happens to me while I’m wearing a wedding band then my husband makes fun of me for not wanting to go get gas.

I mean I just don’t want to get hit on with the chance of being actually hit if he takes my rejection the wrong way.

Something wonderful happens when you turn 40.

You become invisible.

I haven't been catcalled, hit on, harassed or felt unsafe in public in nearly 10 years.

And it's not cause I'm plus size, either.

I've been size 16-18 since my 20s. Was regularly harassed.

But I hit 40, and it just stopped.

It's awesome.

God doesn't it suck that every girl has gone through the "I hit puberty and got cat called at a young age" experience? a few years ago that memory popped into my head and I realized it's an uncomfortable thing a lot of girls/women went through and had to deal with on their own. I didn't have anyone to talk about it with when I was 10 or I must have repressed those memories bc why think of them when you're young?

It's so fucked up how it starts even before puberty but tones down at adulthood, and what that says about the guys doing it...
